What was Strzok's 'insurance policy'?

[Tranquillus in Exile]

All we have to go on is one text message from Strzok to Lisa Page in August 2016:

I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office — that there’s no way he gets elected — but I'm afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40.

Many people think this referred to the FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign, which started in July 2016. But what exactly was Strzok implying? Some opinions:

- The FBI leadership was planning to stop Trump being elected. (If so, what did they actually DO? Whatever it was, it didn't work out.)

- If Trump won, the FBI would do its best to frame him.

- The FBI would continue its investigation even if Trump won, and any illegal activities would be uncovered. (Such a thing had never happened before, but under certain circumstances it would have been their plain duty.)

Which interpretation do you go for, and what is the evidence?

Wasn't any. He got fired. However even backing Comey's statement about Hillary's server does not matter to the rightys. Strzok and Comey made daffy president with that incorrect press conference. Rightys just cannot understand that many who saw what a joke and a crook Trump is, still did their jobs as fairly as they could.

I think he could be referencing the fact that Trump campaign was under investigation, if he had leaked that, who knows what wouid have happened, but he didn’t leak it and Trump won.

Some Trump fans talk about the 'insurance policy' a lot, probably more than Strzok ever did. If you point out that nothing about the FBI investigation was leaked before the election - not even its existence - they say "yeah, but the insurance policy!"

They must know what they think it was, so let's hear from them!

Maybe "they" don't care because they won. I know that you are not one of them, but Democrats' time would be better spent fixing their party. Perhaps next time, they can choose a candidate that half of the country doesn't already hate.

Btw, Steel just said in a British court that he was hired by the DNC to overturn the election results.

whatever it was the FBI had no business going about it's "path"
"we can't take that chance" is intent to interfere ( and i'm not talking about Russians interference)

I think he was talking about them telling the nation that the Russians were meddling in the election.


what he didn't realize is that the republican congress would trash the FBI and refuse to go on record that it was true before the election


he and others overestimated the republicans in office

Former CIA Director John Brennan also presented congressional leaders with top-secret evidence indicating Russia was meddling in the election, Biden said, and the Obama administration urged Republicans to put out a “bipartisan warning” to Russia.

This what you mean, C.O.?


Steele says he was hired to help Hillary with a potential election challenge

British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who wrote the Democrat-financed anti-Trump dossier, said in a court case that he was hired by a Democratic law firm in preparation for Hillary Clinton challenging the results of the 2016 presidential election.

The Democrats never filed a challenge, but Mr. Steele’s answer suggested that was one option inside the Clinton camp.

I don't think that's what Trumpsters mean by the 'insurance policy'.

Any site that refers to the Steele dossier as 'Democrat financed', doesn't merit the time it takes to click the link.

Well, they do admit that "the Democrats never filed a challenge", so the whole thing seems to be irrelevant.

The real story of the last election is British collusion.

And let's not forget....Obama was presiding over a period of time when decorum in politics was considered admirable. He opted to keep the election clear of perceptions of bias.

Look where that got us, and look at the state of Washington now.

And let's not forget that, before the election, President Obama said that foreign intervention in our elections wasn't possible.
